"I'm asking you, have you obtained the inheritance of darkness?"

Xiao Chen pointed at the black blood wand and asked.

"It's not that easy."

Selro smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"It's definitely not that easy."

"All right."

Xiao Chen nodded, he was too lazy to even say a word of comfort.

Because he comforted Selro, and no one comforted him.

It has been such a long time since he got the Xuanyuan Sword, but until now... he hasn't seen any inheritance.

It would have been fine if he didn't see it, but it also made him nervous and on guard at all times, fearing that the knife would come out of the bone ring in the middle of the night and chop him.

"The more powerful the inheritance, the harder it is to obtain. I am mentally prepared."

Selro said to Xiao Chen.

"Haha, you are quite good at comforting yourself."

Xiao Chen was happy.

"Now that you mention it, I'm actually looking forward to it. I want to know how awesome the Dark Heritage is."

"After I get the inheritance, I will tell you as soon as possible."

Selro said seriously.

"good."

Xiao Chen nodded.

"Let's go, let's eat first."

"Um."

Selro nodded.

Maybe he was not in such a mess tonight, so he talked a lot more.

Although he is a weak one among the [Sons of Darkness], he is still a [Sons of Darkness] after all and has a lot of experience.

So, he had quite a lot of topics to talk about with the women, and they could basically talk about anything.

After finishing the meal, Selro left with the black-robed Grim Reaper.

Alice also left alone. In such a short time, it was obvious that she had not yet integrated into this environment.

Su Qing, Qin Lan and others were polite on the surface, but in fact they were not very reassured.

"By the way, Xixi, how long does it take you to set up a small spirit gathering formation?"

Xiao Chen found Zhuge Qingxi and asked.

"How small?"

Zhuge Qingxi was curious.

"Just one room, to enhance the absorption of spiritual energy..."

Xiao Chen thought about it and said.

"It will take more than an hour."

Zhuge Qingxi replied.

"I plan to set up small spirit gathering arrays in my sisters' rooms... Brother Chen, do you have the same idea?"

"Hmm? Haha, that's a good idea."

Xiao Chen's eyes lit up and he smiled.

"But I didn't think of this. I was going to give Zi Yi a medicinal bath tonight to temper her body, and I thought it would be more effective if there was a spirit gathering array."

"Okay, is this Sister Zi Yi's room? Then I'll go set up the spirit gathering formation now."

Zhuge Qingxi nodded.

"No, it's a separate room. Come on, I'll take you there."

Xiao Chen said this and took Zhuge Qingxi to the room that had been prepared long ago.

This room was right next to where he kept the herbs, and inside it... there was a big pot.

It is called a big pot, but in fact it is more like a big barrel that people can sit in.

And below... is the heating equipment that can maintain a constant temperature.

Originally, Xiao Chen wanted to make a big pot that burned wood, but then he thought it would be difficult to maintain a constant temperature.

Moreover, Bai Ye said that setting up a big pot would be too scary. Who would be cooked?

Then, Xiao Chen thought of the time when he helped Xiao Meng solve the problem of being possessed by demons, and specially asked Bai Ye to find someone to customize this thing.

Next to the barrel, there is an electronic screen that displays the temperature inside the barrel.

"Is Sister Ziyi in the barrel?"

Zhuge Qingxi stared at the big barrel in a daze.

"You won't cook the person, will you?"

"How is that possible?"

Xiao Chen smiled.

"Your spirit gathering array is mainly to cover this large barrel... If it's not too troublesome, the whole room will do."

"good."

Zhuge Qingxi nodded and asked weakly.

"I...will also go in and cook then?"

"Do you want to become stronger?"

Xiao Chen asked.

"think!"

Zhuge Qingxi nodded without hesitation. Her strength was the weakest, and most of her energy was focused on the formation.

"Then you have to go in and cook it."

Xiao Chen smiled.

"So...you'll be there then? I...will not be wearing any clothes?"

Zhuge Qingxi thought of something, her pretty face flushed, and asked again.

"Well, if you don't mind, you can go without clothes, because that will work best."

Xiao Chen nodded and said while holding back a smile.

"Oh...I don't mind."

Zhuge Qingxi whispered.

“…”

Xiao Chen was speechless. This girl... really doesn't mind?

"I'm just teasing you. I'm going to check on Zi Yi first. When you guys go into the medicinal bath, there's no need for me to be by your side."

"Well...what if this thing malfunctions and cooks someone?"

Zhuge Qingxi was a little worried.

"Uh, that's not the case. I feel very hot. Won't I jump out?"

Xiao Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"No, Brother Chen, haven't you heard the story of 'boiling a frog in warm water'? By the time you realize it, it's already too late."

Zhuge Qingxi said seriously.

"Okay, okay, you don't need me to be here then, just keep an eye on each other... It's not just this one barrel, there are barrels in the rooms next to it too! For example, when you're cooking... no, when you're taking a medicinal bath to temper your body, you can ask Xiao Meng to help you keep an eye on it, and then you can help Xiao Meng keep an eye on it, right? Or you can go to the room with the two barrels, both of you together."

Xiao Chen was helpless. He let this girl cook and cook, and he felt like she was cooking something.

The key point is... this is not to boil a person, the purpose is to give a medicinal bath, the heating is also to keep the medicinal effect in the best state, and then to temper the body!

"Oh, that makes me feel relieved."

Zhuge Qingxi nodded, took out a compass, began to measure the direction, and prepared to set up the formation.

Xiao Chen breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she stopped asking questions. After all, she was just a little girl and she would worry about a lot of things.

But that’s not the case. With Xiao Meng’s thick nerves, there wouldn’t be so many questions. She just jumped in.

Xiao Chen looked at the big barrel and the heating equipment, and a trace of memory flashed in his eyes.

When he was a child, the old fortune teller often gave him medicinal baths and boiled him in a big pot.

It was really cooked in a big pot with a stove underneath and firewood burning.

There is no such thing as a constant temperature. If you put too much firewood, the temperature will rise immediately. He will often get burned so much that he screams and jumps out of the pot.

“You are so happy.”

Xiao Chen muttered.

After a while, Su Qing and the others came.

Obviously, they were also very curious about this medicinal bath to temper the body.

Except for a few people who have seen this barrel and equipment, most people have not seen it.

When they heard that they had to "cook" inside, their reactions were similar to Zhuge Qingxi's.

Xiao Chen had no choice but to explain a few things to them in front of them, so as to avoid having to explain it to them one by one later.

After about an hour, the small spirit gathering formation was set up.

Xiao Chen felt it and found that there was a slight difference between inside and outside the room.

Not too much, but better.

It can't be too many, otherwise if the large spirit gathering array is placed inside the small spirit gathering array, the spiritual energy will double, which would be too ridiculous.

"Zi Yi, get ready."

Xiao Chen said something to Ye Ziyi and then went next door.

Although Su Qing and the others were curious, they all left.

Anyone would feel uncomfortable taking a shower under the gaze of so many people.

After they all left, Ye Ziyi also went next door.

"Do you need help?"

Ye Ziyi asked.

"Well, help me get these herbs over. They all need to be boiled in a bucket."

Xiao Chen nodded and pointed to a pile of medicinal herbs.

"so much?"

Ye Ziyi was surprised.

"Fortunately, otherwise there would be no effect."

Xiao Chen smiled, opened the freezer again, and took out two plants.

When he returned to the 'cooking room', Xiao Chen threw the herbs into the bucket, including the two plants he took out of the freezer.

Then he pressed a button and began filling the vat with water.

"Why do I feel like... you are making stewed food."

Ye Ziyi looked at Xiao Chen's actions and said something strange.

"Haha, then after the stew is done, I want to taste it."

Xiao Chen smiled evilly.

“…”

Ye Ziyi was speechless.

In a few minutes or so, the vat was filled with water and began to heat up.

"What material is this made of? Iron?"

Ye Ziyi looked at the barrel and asked.

"No, it's made of ceramic, so it won't destroy the efficacy of the medicine."

Xiao Chen shook his head.

"Then it tastes better when it is braised."

“…”

Ye Ziyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and watched Xiao Chen operate from the side.

"By the way, will these herbs... harm the skin?"

"Hmm? No way?"

Xiao Chen was stunned for a moment. He had never thought about this question.

When he was a child, he never thought about this problem, let alone paid attention to it. He has thick skin, so why was he afraid of hurting his skin?

But girls are different.

"How about I put on my pajamas?"

Ye Ziyi asked.

"Wearing pajamas...will affect the effect of the medicinal bath. Try it first, it should be fine."

Xiao Chen thought about it and said.

"good."

Ye Ziyi nodded.

After a while, the medicine liquid began to boil and tumble.

Xiao Chen began to cool down, and when it reached a suitable temperature, he looked at Ye Ziyi and said, "It's OK."

"good."

Ye Ziyi didn't act pretentiously. It was not like she hadn't been seen by Xiao Chen before. She took off her clothes happily and got into the barrel.

She had just entered and felt a little uncomfortable, so she shrank back.

"Practice, and tell me anytime you feel anything."

Xiao Chen looked at Ye Ziyi, feeling a little annoyed. There was too much medicine, it had reached her shoulders... and was blocking the beautiful scenery.

Fortunately, the medicine liquid is not that dark now and can still be seen faintly.

"Um……"

Ye Ziyi nodded, closed her eyes, and began to practice.

Xiao Chen dispelled his messy thoughts, cheered himself up, and watched carefully from the side.

After all, this is the first one.

Time, minute by minute, an hour passed quickly.

During this time, Ye Ziyi also expressed some of her feelings, and Xiao Chen even checked her pulse and found nothing wrong.

“I feel the bottleneck…”

Suddenly, Ye Ziyi opened her eyes.

"Here, eat it."

Xiao Chen took out a pill and handed it to Ye Ziyi. This was what he had swept from the Dragon Palace.

After Ye Ziyi took the pill, she felt a warm current surging and her aura continued to rise.

Xiao Chen's upper dantian trembled slightly, feeling the changes in the spiritual energy between heaven and earth... The small spirit gathering formation took effect, and Ye Ziyi was like a whirlpool, causing all the spiritual energy in the room to rush towards her.

After about five minutes, Ye Ziyi's breath stabilized and she opened her eyes again, unable to hide her excitement: "I broke through!"
